It is a bit disturbing to see the second hand drawn as the shortest hand in the graphic of three hands. My mind is well-trained that the shortest hand should be the hour! I couldn't find or think of any convention for styling the secon

It's probably not controversial to say that Wikipedia is the "best" encyclopedia. What differences between Wikipedia and OSM do you think prevent OSM from becoming the best map?

It frames the intent of what they are about to "say". Before reading the technical details I already know that the author has a contrasting experience.

This makes me ponder how fortunate I am (or dumb I am) to have eaten in a restaurant twice in the past week.

They will get sued if they say why. Hence they will never admit why.

Looks like a really slick app, can't wait to walk around and use it. It is a little funny to see that some of the quests are on map features that I have recently added. I suppose I will both fix those things and learn what I can do bet

I don't remember the specific arguments that he laid out, but after watching this (42 minute, worthwhile) video by Tom Scott about copyright my understanding changed. Now I assume that most things don't fit some narrow requiremen

Also Bahamas has no liquor sales, and crazy tight lockdowns every weekend where you can't leave your house for groceries even.

I think this might relate to what he discusses at the end of the very long Project Announcement blog/article. Something like there may be many different rules, but the one we find will be correct for us due to the framework we have for

Predetermined luck (luck of the card shuffle) versus luck of a dice roll (luck of events during the gameplay). Two types of luck, though yes they are still both luck.

Most web pages need to be able to be updated. I think the two most popular options for that are a CMS or a static site generator. In general it is easier for "less technical" users to update the content in a CMS. Hence you get

How do you feel about all local news channels, all radio stations, and all weather websites using freely available NOAA data as part of their income-producing content? (Or maybe there is some special thing you know of where those outlets ha

Most boats (recreational "cruisers" at least, which is what I am most familiar with) are using LiFePO4 chemistries which are much less likely to start fires. ReLiOn, Victron, BattleBorn, and MasterVolt for example as some of the l

I'm not sure that you would find any product on the market which shines the same frequency of light in both directions on a single fiber. All of the bi-directional on a single fiber products that I know of send a different frequency of

It's old school, but I use Quicken. It works fine and it's less than $5/month.

Not true for what you might call "recreational" vessels. "Uninspected passenger vessels less than 100 gross tons are not required to carry an EPIRB." https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2018

The problem is the customer agreeing that they want to buy something for a given price. Then a little while later they see an opportunity to get something for free so expect customer service to bend over backwards to make them a happier cus

Perhaps the older generation is actually less sustainable. I recall a friend telling me how frustrating it was to be back farming with his dad because his dad insisted on tilling up the field every spring instead of using no-till methods.

I believe similar ramifications should apply to the uploader in the case of a valid DMCA complaint to make this fair. There are some logistical issues with enforcing that. I admit that upfront as I don't think those are a fruitful topi

There are wine tastings (less classy affairs I suppose some would say) where you do consume the wine. For instance I was at the San Sebastian Winery in St. Augustine recently and the "Tour and Tasting" I was on included about 20 p

I have never been to a wine tasting where people are spitting out the wine. But I have read of them so acknowledge that they exist and that you have a fair point.
